Northwest Jeffco Library Project

Jefferson County Public Library (JCPL) is embarking on an ambitious plan to open a new destination library in the northwest region of Jefferson County to connect our underserved community to library services. This expansion will provide additional access to information and opportunities for all generations and will be adaptable for future growth and economic development.

Project Updates

In July 2024, JCPL purchased a 9.4-acre site between Wilkerson Court, 92nd Avenue and Candelas Parkway in Northwest Jefferson County for a new 30,000-square-foot library. JCPL has partnered with Anderson Hallas Architects for the project.

Throughout fall 2024, the Northwest Jeffco Library community shared their input at community open houses, neighborhood events and through a survey. This feedback was compiled into a comprehensive Community Engagement Report, opens a new window and presented to the Board of Trustees in December. The report will help guide the construction and design elements.

In July 2025, Swinerton was selected to serve as the General Contractor for the project, working closely with the team to bring the architectural designs to life.

Board and Public Discussion

This project will be discussed during 2025 Board Meetings. Read about the latest updates, submit a comment to the Board or find attendance information.
